Bill > AB2455

This bill would establish May 17th as "Bruce Lee Day" in California, requiring the Governor to annually proclaim this date and encouraging all public schools and educational institutions to observe it by remembering Bruce Lee's life, accomplishments, and contributions to the state. The bill highlights Bruce Lee's significance as a trailblazing Chinese American martial artist, actor, and filmmaker who inspired millions globally, bridged Eastern and Western cultures, broke racial barriers in Hollywood, and developed the influential martial arts philosophy of Jeet Kune Do. The legislative findings emphasize his birth and early connections to San Francisco's Chinatown, his return to the United States on May 17, 1959, his establishment of martial arts schools in California, and his posthumous honors, all of which solidify his legacy as a cultural icon.
